When buying a live Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) it is wise to closely observe the condition of the fishes fins (no fungus or other damage), scales (none missing and nice and glossy), eyes (clear and not sunken or sticking out) and also check that its tummy is not sunken or distended in any way. I would also hold a mirror up to the fish and see if and how he displays. If all the fish are good on those observations then I would simply choose by my preference and purity of colour.
